What we can learn from the recent Tiger Woods infidelity scenario?

• It takes years to build respect and a positive reputation, but only seconds to destroy it. Before indulging in any pleasure seeking behaviour, a great question to ask is this: Would I be happy to share what I am doing with the world? If the answer is no, don't do it!
• Authentic success is about being true to the things that matter most. Keep these in mind when you make any decision that could jeopardise your long term happiness. 'You cannot talk yourself out of a problem you behaved yourself into."  Stephen Covey

What we can learn from Obama's inauguration?

• There is power in the moment, if there is hope for the future. Obama cast a shining light on America and the world and demonstrated the power of positive words. His mantra: 'yes we can' created hope and optimism during challenging global economic conditions. What positive words can you use to inspire you each day?

 What we can learn from the Global Financial Crisis?

• Things sometimes don't go the way you want them to. The important thing is to make the best of a bad situation. Rather than getting caught up in all the negativity, your focus is much better spent on opportunities. These might include opportunities to make better, more informed choices in the future. 'Whenever you lose, don't lose the lesson.' BB

  Recent Personal Experiences.......

Over the past couple of months, I have been working around the clock to complete my first book, Bullseye. It has taken a lot of time and effort, but it was an amazing feeling when I sent the final manuscript to the publishers.

Here's what I learnt from the book writing experience:

• Sometimes you need to get out of balance to get better balance. To get ahead in life, occasionally we need to work hard in one particular area at the expense of other areas that are also important. Being out of balance for too long invariably leads to problems in other parts of life. The crucial thing is to not stay out of balance for too long and aim to restore balance as quickly as possible. 

Here's what I learnt from getting married:

• Connection and love is the glue that holds our spirit together. I think relationships thrive when there are the following ingredients: honesty; love; commitment; fun; the occasional element of surprise; open communication and total trust.

What lessons can you learn from 2009? If we don't learn lessons from the past, we are often doomed to repeat mistakes until we 'do' learn them.

What are you committed to achieving in the year ahead?

2010 can be anything you want it to be: the script has not been written yet, so why not make it something worth reading about!

Enjoy the journey,

Blake Beattie
